"NeverWet" super hydrophobic coating
so i just came across this stuff on another website. seems legit and revolutionary. Possible application for cars? not sure of any degrading chemicals in the stuff, but seeing as how its not on the market yet, we will find out soon...
Thoughts?

http://www.neverwet.com
Ross Nanotechnology, LLC provides a solution to these problems with NeverWet™ superhydrophobic coatings. NeverWet™ coatings have remained under seawater for over a year and reemerged completely dry. When dirt and dust sit on one of our treated surfaces, water quickly flushes it away. The water is repelled by our coating, and the dirt is attracted to the water. Even under extreme conditions like high pressure spray, they maintain their superhydrophobic characteristics.

That would be the BOMB for windshields. He could make a fortune immediately.


Seems like it would be frustrating to wash your car if that stuff was on it.

Imagine if it could be tweaked to handle extreme temperatures and incorporated in an engine lubricate in some way. I wonder if it could increase aerodynamics if incorporated as a wax.

My car would never need washing being coated with this stuff. Airlines would line up to either coat their wings with this stuff or manufacture the fuselage from it. Fly in all weather conditions.
